Superior Mechanical Properties and Work-Hardening Ability of Ultrafine-Grained Quenched and Partitioned Steels Processed by a Novel Approach Involving Asymmetric Hot Rolling

An approach is proposed to enhance the mechanical properties and work-hardening (WH) ability of low-alloy steels. Using asymmetric hot rolling (AHR) and subsequent direct quenching (DQ) prior to the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process, an ultrafine-grained Q&P steel with excelle...
